ABUJA, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Suspected Fulani herdsmen killed four Christians in Plateau state on Saturday (Jan. 22), after 18 Christians were slain in another area of the state on Jan. 11, sources said.
In the two attacks, eight other Christians were reported wounded, and in one village 24 homes were burned down.
The armed assailants ambushed Christians in Dong village, on the outskirts of Jos in Jos North County, on Saturday (Jan. 22) at about 6 p.m., killing four and wounding two others, area resident Rejoice Johnson said.
“Dong, our community, has constantly been attacked by armed Muslim Fulani terrorists in the recent past,” Johnson said. “We need your prayers.”
The unprovoked attacks led to protests on Sunday (Jan. 23). Fulani herdsmen also attacked the area in May, killing seven Christians.
“Dong village has served as a place of refuge for displaced Christians since 2017,” said Yil Gonsum, an aid worker in Jos. “In 2018, hundreds of displaced Christians from Miango District fled to Dong village seeking refuge, but now both the displaced and resident Christians have severally been attacked by the herdsmen.”
On Jan. 11 in Ancha village, in Miango District of Bassa County, suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked at midnight, killing 18 Christians, after having ambushed other Christians the previous day, said area resident Danjuma Auta.

How long before it starts happening in this nation?
Why don’t the Christians have guns?
They’re easy to spot by the “Caliph Baraq is my homeboy” bumper sticker on their Toyota pickups.
No 2nd amendment.
As much time as it takes to build a foreign army of military-aged kids?
The majority of the Fulani herdsmen are Islamic Muslim Nomades.... They have clashed with indigenous tribes and local, mainly Christian, farmers over grazing land for centuries, were known to carry sticks and machetes… but these ones are carrying AK-47s....The atrocities perpetrated by the Fulani herdsmen include the destruction of houses and churches, as well as the seizure of land and properties belonging to Christian owners....
Well enough of them have come over the border so I suspect soon enough.
